Burnout, Mental Health, and Finding Balance in Work, Life, and AI

Two years after a severe burnout and suicide attempt, I reflect on how overwork, financial pressure, and lack of balance nearly cost me my life. In this post, I share lessons on the dangers of long workweeks, the importance of mental and physical health, using AI to work smarter, rebuilding social connections, and my decision to shift careers from web development to data science. It’s about survival, growth, and choosing to live beyond work.
